I have had the opportunity to lead the Builders Sunday Morning Small Group for three weeks studying the gospel according to Mark. This question was from a breakout group studying Mark 8:31-9:1, 9:30-32 and 10:32.34.
It is hard to determine the exact time table between each of these episodes. There are six days that are specifically mentioned in Mark 9:2. Other than that there is some indeterminate travel time. I suppose that it could be determined from the length of time it would take to walk from one area to another as various geographical references are given. That is the best that I have…
Any other thoughts?
